Allied claims were inflated by a factor of at lest 2 if not more. John Claringbould analysis of A6M5 vs F4U-1A show real scores were around 1.1 to the advantage of Zeroes. The Japanese industries delivered several outstanding models like the Ki-84 and the N1K1. The issues were more in pilot training.

In the Pacific, the Japanese Zero was overtaken by the newer designs, like the Hellcat and Corsair. Japan never became competitive after this.
